This budget is for billionaires and big corporations.

Sure, it's a budget that 'invests in people' — those people are Clive Palmer, Gerry Harvey, and Gina Rinehart. #Budget2021

Clive Palmer bought the last election for the Liberals.

This pre-election cash-splash budget shows Scott Morrison’s desperate for Australia’s billionaires to do it again.

The Liberal spinners will be working overtime to make this budget seem like anything other than a brown paper bag full of handouts to billionaires and big corporations.

Here’s what’s hiding in #budget2021, how it will affect you, and how we should do better.

The Treasurer’s boasting about how the economy held up.

Turns out that when you put JobSeeker above the poverty line & give people income security it improves lives & helps the economy.

We need to #RaiseTheRate of JobSeeker to #80aDay.

Unemployment rates don’t count when 60% of the new jobs created since the pandemic are insecure, and they count an hour’s work as employed.

One hour. Of work.

They’re forging ahead with their tax cuts for billionaires.

Stage 3 tax cuts will disproportionately go to men and the super wealthy.

There’s tax cuts for billionaires and handouts to big corporations, but wages will *go backwards* for the next two years and job seekers are stuck in poverty.

This is a bad Budget from a trickle-down Treasurer.

There is not a single cent in #budget2021 for new public housing.

Meanwhile, this budget gives property investors a $8.5 billion tax break.

Billionaire property developers will cash in.

A generation of young people priced out of the market.

This is a housing market only the Liberal Party would celebrate.

This Budget gives $62b a year in subsidies to billionaires and big corporations.

And they say there’s not enough money to get dental into Medicare and lift people out of poverty…

If you want to beat the skills shortage, we need free Uni and TAFE. This budget doesn’t do that.

Instead, Scott Morrison is cutting Uni funding by 10% *every year*.

In the middle of a climate crisis, gov is giving over $1b to *new* coal and gas projects.

In total, there’s $51b in subsidies to coal and gas corporations.

This Budget fast-tracks climate collapse.

When Josh Frydenberg says he’s funding ‘clean energy’, he’s referring to public money funding new gas fields, and coal carbon capture and storage.

Scott Morrison is making childcare slightly cheaper.

It should be free. https://twitter.com/AdamBandt/status/1391550301212188680

This #budget2021 should have invested in renewables, in clean and green manufacturing, in improving people’s livelihoods and building up our essential services.

Australia could have become a renewable energy superpower, putting us on a path to generate 700% renewable energy, exporting extra clean energy to the world, but instead the Liberals are giving public money to coal and gas.

Workers’ wages will go backwards for the next two years, then flatline after that, ensuring that wages will remain low while corporate profits skyrocket.

Billionaire Gerry Harvey will be getting his workers at fire sale prices.

This budget is champagne for the billionaires, and real pain for everyone else.
